A [[CombatPragmatist cunning]] BadassNormal [[LadyOfWar martial artist]] who packs a [[StaticStunGun taser]] [[PowerPalms glove]], she's somewhere between a type 2 and a type 5; although willowy (and [[GirlyBruiser decidedly more femme]] [[TomboyAndGirlyGirl than Korra]]), she's the second tallest of the central cast.

** In the original Transformers, Ironhide fits this quite well for a group much larger than 5, although there's certainly a group that's considered more central than others. Also a good example of this trope from the original would be Brawn, who despite actually being SMALLER than most of the autobots, otherwise fits this trope extremely well.

* Panthro from ''WesternAnimation/{{Thundercats}}'' and ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Thundercats 2011}} [=ThunderCats (2011)=]]]''.

In the 2011 version, he also doubles as a highly intimidating type 1, a gruff OldSoldier who's CoveredWithScars and unwilling to accept the young Lion-O as his leader and liege until the boy [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority proves his worth in battle]].

* Hawkgirl, ''JusticeLeagueUnlimited''.
* Split between Hawkgirl and Superman (plus the Martian Manhunter when the writers remember that he can do more than just phase) in ''JusticeLeague''.
* Rhinox of ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'' is the very definition of Class 5.
* Bulkhead of ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'' is a Class 2 and 5. He's got the clumsiness and the slightly [[SimpletonVoice oafish voice]], but is a GentleGiant as well as quite intelligent, especially in battle (like how he countered [[ImplacableMan Lugnut's]] RocketPunch). He's even revealed to be an expert in space-bridge technology, firmly putting him in GeniusBruiser territory.
** The ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'' team has their own Bulkhead.
** In the original Transformers, Ironhide fits this quite well for a group much larger than 5, although there's certainly a group that's considered more central than others. Also a good example of this trope from the original would be Brawn, who despite actually being SMALLER than most of the autobots, otherwise fits this trope extremely well.
** Autobot [[CombiningMecha gestalts]], such as Superion, typically fall into this role by default.
* Bunnie from ''WesternAnimation/SonicSatAM'' is a female example by virtue of her being a HollywoodCyborg and her girliness being outweighed by Antoine's qualifications as a male [[TheChick Chick]].
* Gordon from ''ThomasTheTankEngine.'' [[BadassBoast He is the largest and strongest engine on Sodor after all.]]
* The biggest Big Guy of all is, believe or not, Franchise/{{Godzilla}}, in ''WesternAnimation/GodzillaTheSeries''. He's even nicknamed as such.
* Toph from ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' is a CuteBruiser variety. Her first episode had her taking on five skilled [[DishingOutDirt earthbenders]] and taking them all out sequentially. Her DisabilitySuperpower certainly helps in that regard; her opponents underestimate her and she kicks up a cloud of dust that doesn't affect the way she "sees."
** Her original design was a large, muscly man- this is one of many [[LampshadeHanging Lampshades hung]] in '[[WhoWouldWantToWatchUs The Ember Island Players]]'', where her part in a play is inexplicably filled by a burly, muscled man. (Toph is delighted.)
** In SequelSeries ''TheLegendOfKorra'', [[MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter Asami]] [[FallenPrincess Sato]] fills this role. A [[CombatPragmatist cunning]] BadassNormal [[LadyOfWar martial artist]] who packs a [[StaticStunGun taser glove]], she's somewhere between a type 2 and a type 5; although willowy (and [[GirlyBruiser decidedly more femme]] [[TomboyAndGirlyGirl than Korra]]), she's the second tallest of the central cast. (Conversely, barrel-chested earthbender [[{{Keet}} Bolin]]—whose character design is based off of the original concept for Toph, and who ''looks'' more like he'd fit the role—is actually TheHeart.)
* Matrix of ''ReBoot''.
* The show ''WesternAnimation/KingArthurAndTheKnightsOfJustice'' was an interesting example, because it starred a team of football players temporarily taking the place of the Knights of the Round Table, it was unique in having about five big guys (Lineman) who were essentially interchangeable from one story to the next.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheMightyDucks'' has Grin--a massive musclebound giant who fights with his bare hands, but also [[GentleGiant an ardent follower of Zen philosophy]], who never uses more force than needed.
* Numbuh Four in ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'' is the rare CuteBruiser and DumbMuscle type, who has a random chance of being afflicted with TheWorfEffect.
* Gor-illa of ''WesternAnimation/CaptainSimianAndTheSpaceMonkeys'' fulfills Class 2 and 5. Due to events in the origin story, Gor-illa is a very intelligent, pacifist gorilla who goes into OneWingedAngel mode when angered into a berserker rage.
* Binky Barnes from ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'' is a Class 3.
* Nathan Explosion of ''WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}'' is a Class 3 if there ever was one- his growling voice, immense size, and general reputation of brutality hides the fact that, at heart, he's something of a marshmallow. [[CuteKitten Who loves kitties.]] And his father. And Disneyland.
* Buck Tuddrussel of ''WesternAnimation/TimeSquad'' punches first and asks questions later. Could even be categorized at some points as DumbMuscle.
* Shane Gooseman, the SuperSoldier from ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGalaxyRangers''. He towers over the other three (and, at 19, is probably not finished growing, either!), and can easily take the most damage. Definitely a Class 3, as he comments in "One Million Emotions" that his kind can only get "angry and mad," but was seen in "Supertroopers" being the only one of his kind that questioned his role as a SuperSoldier.
** Another ''[[WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGalaxyRangers Galaxy Rangers]]'' example: Buzzwang. While he may not be programmed for combat, it is possible that he, being a robot, is stronger then the average human.
* The WesternAnimation/BionicSix's GeniusBruiser, J.D., is not only strong, but may be taller then the rest of the family.
* Sgt. Mace from ''WesternAnimation/{{COPS}}'', probably for his usage of heavy weapons.
* An example of a [[TheBigGuy Big Guy]] who's also TheHero - ''TheTick''.
* The male half of the WesternAnimation/{{Silverhawks}}' Steel Twins, William "Steelwill" Hart, is a good example.
* Panthro from ''WesternAnimation/{{Thundercats}}'' and ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Thundercats 2011}} [=ThunderCats (2011)=]]]''. Definitely a Class 5, as he has the most pronounced skill in technology of all of them. He's [[HeroicBuild built]] like a tank...and built the [[TankGoodness damn tank]]! In the 2011 version, he also doubles as a highly intimidating type 1, a gruff OldSoldier who's CoveredWithScars and unwilling to accept the young Lion-O as his leader and liege until the boy [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority proves his worth in battle]].
* Ookla the Mokk is ''WesternAnimation/ThundarrTheBarbarian'''s {{Expy}} to Chewbacca.
* Diana the Acrobat, Being the most athletic of the heroes in the ''WesternAnimation/DungeonsAndDragons'' cartoon.
** Bobby would also fit as the CuteBruiser.
* Brock Samson from ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'' is a Class 3. He's got a hard exterior but he genuinely cares for Hank and Dean.
** Kano from the "original" Team Venture.
* Beezy on ''{{Jimmy Two-Shoes}}''.
* Buford from ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb''. He'd probably ''like'' to be regarded as TheBrute, but he's actually too nice for that.
* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' when muscle or a degree of inhuman dexterity is required, Bender can be counted as a Class 5 GeniusBruiser, although he's more cunning than clever. If the problem is just with too many BadassNormal mooks, then Leela will go berserker and kick their butts with her ninja skills.
* Easy to miss since he's one of the few Big Guys who is incredibly slim ([[DemBones understandably]]), but when you compare him to his surroundings, Jack Skellington of ''TheNightmareBeforeChristmas'' has got to be seven to eight feet tall.
* Cyborg from ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' fits #5 to a tee.
** Beast Boy also fits this as a Class 4; while his jokes are groan-worthy, he's a general nice guy... who relies on brute force in the form of animal forms.
* In ''WesternAnimation/ThePenguinsOfMadagascar'' Rico is their BigGuy of a perfect Class 1 - he's even got the scar.
* June from ''WesternAnimation/KaBlam'', not in terms of size, but she's definetly the toughest character.
** Mr. Foot. That is all.
* Jake from ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime''.
* Applejack from ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic.'' Not necessarily the biggest of the Mane Cast, but always the strongest, only outdone by her older brother Big Mac, who can ''pull a house'' across town.
* Air Enforcer is this to the ''WesternAnimation/SkysurferStrikeForce'', being the biggest, strongest member with the most weapons.
